Paycheck Lyrics

Monthly subscription that's all you can afford

Now you're paycheque to paycheque

Eyes to floor

You feed them on scraps and you lock the door

That's how you keep the rich rich

And you keep the poor poor

That's how you keep the poor poor

Salute and thank you for your service

We are forever in your debt

But make sure you are always working

One more round for the NHS

There will be no revolution

Nothing to be televised

Hey did you see what they got up to when they were on furlough?

We've got to keep them more tired

Here's an idea I've been sitting on

Right, okay, this will keep them in line

We make it twice as expensive for them to live

Just to keep themselves alive!

That's how you keep the poor poor

Now you're living Paycheque to paycheque

to paycheque to paycheque to paycheque

to paycheque to pay.....

We're back

Normal service is resumed

Forget how important you were

And get back on your knees

They drip feed you in the left arm

And suck the blood out of the right

If they match the pace you never notice the fangs

And they slip off into the night

But now they've started getting greedy

And we start to wonder why

We're all in so much chronic pain

I'm sick and tired all the time

Hey what's the deal with the cloak, man?

And those pointy canines

It's way too late I've sealed my fate

They've already sucked me dry

And now we're Paycheque to Paycheque

to paycheque to paycheque
